It will contain a cartoon of the prophet Mohammed.

Good on them.

If these evil scumbags want a fight - then that's just what they'll get.

Will the AFT magazine, Issue 3, contain any cartoons of the prophet mo (peace be on eeee) ?

No, but I believe the Charlie H mantra from now on will be "praise be to the profit"

Tis, that's very good. Agree with Tracky 100%.

In a way, can you blame them? Might as well maximise their publicity from it.

not really but its in very poor taste, unless they plan to give the extra profits to the victims of last week.

Oh I agree, and am actually quite disappointed with the state of the cartoon.

Been an Eye subscriber for over 30 years. Their latest issue went to press just a few days before the attack so it will be something like 10 days before the post-Hebdo issue comes out. I have to say I have been rather disappointed with the Eye's responses to Islamic fundamentalist pressure. After the outcry over the Danish magazine's (Morgenposten I think) publishing of cartoons featuring Muhammed a few years ago, I thought their response was pretty muted.

Someone (Stephen Fry I think) suggested that, to show support, all newpapers/magazines around the world should publish the same Muhammed cartoon on the same day at an agreed point in the near future, which I think is a good idea. Though I suspect the Tehran Times would probably baulk at it.

Can't see AFT Fanzine ever printing a picture of Nool.................

Hmm. I did see the Hebdo cartoon and it srtuck me as disappointing.

Yes I get the message but tears don't really send out a strong vibe. I agree 100% with what they're trying to show but feel it could have been done in a stringer way. Perhaps with the murderers being condemned by Mohammed within hell or something.

Mind you, I hope it doesn't drag on too much - yes I'm all for freedom of speech but no, I don't believe in provoking people for absolutely no reason.

The private eye lack of response regarding danish incident drew critical letters about it not being reprinted in the 'organ'. Bet hislop pleased he didnt publish
